although it is almost too retro.




I could see them altering the front for more impact protection on production models.

oh yeah if you look at the front of driver side fender there is images of two people standing in front of the car ....this convinces me that it's definitely a photo-chop...the people are facing left and in the same direction...Does anyone else see the images??

What would a "Challenger concept" vehicle be doing in the woods?

One could only hope this is the real deal.

Dear Lord, let the wheel bolt pattern be 5x 4.5 so i could put 15" wheels on it with tall drag radials and skinnies up front. Amen

a Dana 60 would be great too




Even if it does I would assume it would have large disk brakes that a 15'' wheel will not clear.

Regardless I am definitely buying one if they look anything like that to park next to my 70'. If it doesn't I guess I'll have to deal with a new gto or mustang instead to replace my newer camaro daily driver I was forced to buy since dodge hasn't made anything comparable in 30 years and I really don't want to do that. Don't mess it up chrysler! I am only 26 so don't think retro does not appeal to younger buyers, give us a mopar alternative and we will buy...

That will be tough with 14" rotors.

Am I the only one that sees the 99 Charger concept car behind/beneath that E-body styling?

Sorry, I guess logic really doesn't have any place in a prayer. I just pray they make it, I won't be too picky.

I agree with Taco that my first thought in looking at the front end was wondering if it would get altered for front impact regs.

Regarding oddities with the photos (photochoping):
I noticed that the top photo has the shadow of the guy..yet there is no sun on him and there appears to be no shadow of the (Toyota?) van.

Like I said before, if this is built and if they price it under 30K, I don't think they will be able to keep them on the lots.

Ok Sorry to pick this apart, but if you also look at the front & rear tire they are from the exact same image used during the chopping process...I think this case is closed

Anyone want to buy a 71 Challenger? I have a need for new speed. All I need to do is sell a kidney or liver and I'll be good to go.

Not bad looking. They may have pulled the retro off without the cartoonish look of the mustang, but i will hold my final opinion untill i see it in person.

i'm gonna start saving my pennies, and then buy a new mustang if it doesn't actually look like that, i think with some money set aside each month for a couple years i could make a pretty good dent in one but it would have to have a 6.1 so i can get terrible MPG and the hippies will be furious...

OK EVERYBODY PREPARE YOURSELF THE CAR IS...........LEGITIMATE, ACCORDING TO AUTOWEEK JUST GOT THIS EMAIL

"Mike,
Go to autoweek.com directly for all the info. They are legit, non-photoshopped spy photos of the actual concept car.

Bare in mind its a concept car, didn't everybody like the Charger concept car, its the actual car I am worried about. They still have to take this back to the drawing board/ production line don't they? I think the car was in the woods for a photo shoot. The sun is at a weird angle in those photos too.

If that is chopped it is awesome work, look at the door handles, roof area around the rear glass, modern A post style, laid back screen,no screen mouldings etc etc that is a huge amount of detail to incorporate into a hoax

I love it, hope it comes over here

it was taken either early morning or late afternoon, the sun is coming from the rear of the car down low on the horizon. The person shadow on the car is the person that you can hardly see on the right in the first picture.,and that's why no shadow from the min-van.Is that mini-van a toyota??

Even if the pics are bogus (and they sure look chopped to me!), I like the fact that this is getting people talking (even on the GM and Ford Boards) and for the most part...the "idea" and concept is a HIT! Maybe it might sway an opinion or two on how to design the real concept Challenger.
